Midori Megure (目暮 みどり Megure Midori?) is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

When Midori was about 18 years old, a serial hit-and-runner was stalking the streets, randomly targeting high school girls wearing long skirts, due to harrassment by a girl gang he had suffered under (the girls had been wearing long skirts as well). When Midori's best friend ended up the first fatality, she decided to help apprehend the killer and volunteered to act as a decoy. She was teamed up with Juzo Megure, then still a junior police officer.

Unfortunately, the car runner surprised and hit them both. But Megure was able to remember the car's license number, and the perpetrator was soon arrested. Midori was gravely injured in the accident, but recovered with only a scar on her forehead to show for her ordeal, and some time afterwards she married Megure out of gratitude. In a strange switch of role, she is perhaps the only person who has managed to temper his impulsive surges, a role her husband feels a bit bashful about.[1]

Midori has also appeared, in an unseen role, as a witness to a crime and had to be taken to the station for questioning, as well as making a cameo appearance during the White Day Murder Case.[2]

She is also mentioned by Takagi in episode 146. She was inside the bank where the robbery happened and was wounded by the criminals who pushed her around. Because of that, Takagi says, Inspektor Megure is taking that case very seriously.

Personality

In her youth, Midori was quite headtrong and vindictive, even wild in behavior. However, since her near-death accident and her marriage to Megure she has mellowed considerably and has evolved into a loving wife - perhaps this is the main reason why Megure keeps his head and the scar he shares with Midori always covered up. However, she still retains a younger woman's personality, as evidenced when she was upset enough to get drunk when she thought Megure didn't get her anything for White Day and how happy she was when she found her present.[3]
